Internal fixation of the lumbar spine with pedicle screw plating

The results and complications of pedicle screw plate (PSP) stabilizations were investigated in lumbar fresh fractures, malunions, lumbar metastases, primary tumors, lumbosacral fusions, and highgrade spondylolisthesis. The low incidence of neurologic complications of PSP is noteworthy, and a reason for recommending the method.
